Small market team? Oilers are #2 in revenue.
dustin your mic levels are too loud
Sabres completely failed the free agent signings. They needed to land a legit top six forward and didn’t do what was necessary to get it done. You may be harder to play against next year but your outcome isn’t gonna change. DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET AND SIGN NECAS only one left.
I really love Jeff Jackson for what he has done so far!…I think we don’t need a new gm unless we can get mark hunter!
Wait, small market Edmonton? LOL how? Oilers were top 3 in revenue generated in the league in 2023-2024.
Small Market Edmonton??? Game #7 of Stanley Cup Finals had WAY better ratings (in both Canada 🇨🇦 & USA 🇺🇸!) than the last game of NBA 🏀 Finals! (& NOT because Florida was in it!
“Small market team” don’t be so sensitive guys. Maybe it’s not the best choice of words, but it definitely is part of Edmonton’s history. I’m guessing you weren’t around for the years of them leaving being perpetually a threat. Perhaps you weren’t around for the year after year of top players leaving to get bigger paychecks.
But even with this current generation. It is a pressure cooker environment. What happens with pressure? Things get smaller.
Players and coaches and management are under a microscope in Edmonton. What do you generally look at a microscope? Small things.
So your saying it took a genius negotiator to convince a guy who needs a contract to come to a team that has McD and Dria and the best PK and PP in the NHL and who just went to game 7 of the finals to come to Edmonton?? Lol, I doubt that. I think it's unfortunate they couldn't keep Foegele and move Mcloed instead. But ok.
Almost like Edmonton dumped their archaic, overrated GM. If he can get some value while dumping Darnell NPC he is already GM of the year.
Stop confusing Edmonton tax with Toronto tax. MUCH lower here.
